Air Fryer Chicken Skewers with Satay Peanut Sauce
by Hayley Dean
These deliciously easy chicken skewers drizzled with satay peanut sauce will go down well with all the family, I guarantee it. These skewers are great served on top of jasmine rice with some steamed pak choi.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon each of the curry powder and then brown sugar, and the garlic paste, ginger paste and chilli flakes (if cooking for 4). Stir well to make the marinade.
Step 2
Add the chicken to the bowl with the marinade and stir well to make sure every piece is well coated. Leave the chicken to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, soak some wooden skewers in cold water.
Step 3
Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking to allow the meat to come to room temperature. Thread the chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4
When ready to cook, preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
Step 5
Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer and cook at 180°C for 7 minutes. Turn the skewers over and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Meanwhile, make the satay peanut sauce. Combine the remaining peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce and brown sugar in a bowl and mix well. If the dipping sauce is too thick, add a splash of water and gently warm the sauce in the microwave for a minute or so.
Step 7
Serve the chicken skewers on top of jasmine rice which should be heated according to the packet instructions, with some wilted pak choi on the side. Drizzle over the satay peanut sauce before serving, leaving any extra in a bowl for people to help themselves to more.
